Rutgers at Nebraska

Rutgers is not a strong offensive team, scoring 14 points against Washington along with a 16-13 loss to Eastern Michigan of the MAC. They have spent the week celebrating after ending an 11-game skid last week, a blowout of Morgan State. But for the season their quarterbacks have combined for four TDs, four picks. They are a better defensive team than offensive one. Senior defensive lineman Darnell Davis recorded a career-high 10 tackles while also picking up his second sack and second forced fumble of the season last time out. Rutgers is 17-6 UNDER the total following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Nebraska is not clicking on offense under Coach Mike Riley, with QB Tanner Lee throwing five TDs, seven picks. They come off a stunning 21-17 loss at home to Northern Illinois. At least the defense is improving: Since giving up 42 points in the first half to Oregon, the Cornhuskers' defense has yielded only seven over its last six quarters. And the Cornhuskers are 9-2 UNDER the total in non-conference tilts. This one finishes UNDER the total.
